Zulip hit's the sweet spot for me, as it's pretty straight forward to use and not too many bangs and whistle's.

Alternatively I'm also very happy with signal for communicating with other ones where Idon't have to vother about user management too much.

Not FOSS anymore. More like open core these days.

You could pay them for their support. I know it sounds a bit cheeky, but the zulip folks are really great and the product is not one of the open core solutions where they strip out features based on your plan, like some others do.

I did have a chat with one of the Element sales people a few months back and based on the conversation, it sounded that Dendrite is not anywhere on their roadmap to invest any resources.

Running Silverblue here and only one minor issue due to the wifi mac address changes and locking myself out of my network.

I also realised, that the upgrade didn't like it when Ihade packages removed from the base which resulted in broken dependencies.

After resetting it upgrading went without any glitch.

other than for signing up and connecting the bridge once

According to the docs, you still need the whatsapp client on a physical or virtual device to call back home every 2 weeks or so, which is really annoying.

I also tried the route of using a disposable number for the activation code without any success.

+1 for Gandi, as they also have an API for management as well and support ACME DNS challenge for Let's encrypt.

If I just would have known it earlier.

It was quite the surprise when boarding the return flight without having to show any baoarding passes.

It's great to see more and more tools around restic.

DejaDup also recently added restic support.

Does not have all the features you listed, but I used Rustypaste in the past for sharing all kind of things and was quite happy with it.

Similar setup here with additional exporters like cadvisor for container metrics and other components.

OpenTelemetry is awesome, but still a very fast moving project. Expect therefore more frequent updates and changes compared to more older and established projects.

I think what you are looking for is

${DBX_CONTAINER_HOME_PREFIX} or container_home_prefix=...

I updated the title, but will leave it, unless the majority wishes to remove it.

Nevertheless it's a great reminder of what we might get ourselfs into with all these fancy IoT Devices we put into our homes.

Here also the link to the original paywalled article that started this avalanche.

Agree. On some other projects like Gaia-X they still seem to keep screwing things up.

Also started using it a few months back and hasn't let me down so far.

Nice catch and thanks for sharing. Will definitely check it out.

Fully agree to this summary. traefik also gave me a hard time initially, but once you have the quirks worked out, it works as promised.

Caddy is absolutely on my list as an alternative, but the lack of docker label support is currently the main roadblocker for me.

Did use tt-rss in the past but switched over to miniflux, as I just wanted something more resource friendly.

You can also have a look at contabo as well.

Same issue here.

I think it would be good practice, that verifying app support should take a front seat in the future before upgrading. The way it is currently handled, is not a good practice to retain users, but rather drive them away.

The real culprit here is BIMI and the Marketing folks.

This is just the beginning, with more mail providers probably joining in sooner or later.

Why not post it on matrix@lemmy.ml as well?

Will have a look. Thanks.

Haven't heard of twingate, but sounds a lot like the same as OpenZiti.

Thanks for the writeup. I was also thinking of using tailscale or headscale for some of my usecases. From my understanding so far it's great for personal stuff, but unsure how it would work for more users.

Fedora Silverblue. But when switching I had to wrap my head around the differences in the workflow of doing things. Once youre past that it's rock solid and had no issues so far.

Got it. Thanks.

Zulip looks like a good alternative for us due to the available integrations which we also will take for a spin. And there is always XMPP of course, but I'm not a huge fan of it as all the Clients seem rather outdated.

What other better options would you consider instead of Matrix? Happy to hear your suggestions ;)

I also looked into this option and was wondering how it might collide with our existing Ansible playbooks, as Ansible itself is not declarative and some tasks might overwrite existing functionality.

That's a valid point. Initially we were thinking of running without federation, just to avoid that someone creates a public room by accident and have all the internal communication out there.

I'm not sure if this is a valid fear, as I haven't looked too deep into the permission options yet.

You should consider looking into a proper backup solution like restic or borg, which do a great job in saving space and deduplication.

Depending on your workflow for the web content, maybe a git or gitops based workflow would be a better way of doing things like pushing the changes to git and have actions publish it for you to your website. Like some static website generators, or Github/GitLab pages do it.

Have a look at CoreDNS.

Personally I avoid running a local DNS server, as most of the gateway, router, firewalls allow you to configure static host entries which are then automatically resolved.

Another alternative approach could be Distrobox, where you can set up isolated environments for your specific needs.

Initially Focalboard looked very interesting until mattermost decided to not support it anymore and leaving it's future tangling in the air.

Other options I am also looking into besides the ones mentioned are

• https://vikunja.io/
• https://taiga.io/ (waiting on their next version)

I haven't tried it out yet, but based on

https://join-lemmy.org/news/2021-09-03_-_Lemmy_Release_v0.12.0._User_and_Community_blocking,_lean_federation,_and_a_whole_lot_more

some options should be already available.

I for now settled on mailbox.org, as it has everything I need + some other features like fileshare and video calls.

Fully agree. Even though OP mentioned it, I personally find that the prices compared to others (Dell, Lenovo Thinkpads) way more affordable.

I'm not sure if I understood your question correctly, but the

describing the layout and it producing the image output

sounds to me like you would like to have a 'text to diagram' tool like

• D2
• Mermaid
• GraphViz
• PlantUML

To my knowledge these are the most common known ones and https://text-to-diagram.com/ gives you nice comparison between them.

You can also find more alternatives at https://xosh.org/text-to-diagram/

It looks like a case for a classical Monitoring System From what you described, have a look at

• Prometheus + Grafana + Exporters (e.g. node-exporter, ...)
• Netdata

as these seem to be the most commonly used ones, among all the other ones available.
